Inside Out

Poetic Healing

Portrait of woman with closed eyes and dark face art

By the light of day
Your scars and hidden painful parts
Don’t show,
Neatly tucked behind proper clothes
And an acceptable smile

But in the dark of night
Your stars and scars light up,
One by one,
Revealing the depth of you,
Radiating your light from within,
Allowing you to shine
From the inside out

You are a moon child,
A star baby,
A child of the darkest night,
Keeping watch with your stars and scars
Over all the hearts in this lonely world,
Both broken and whole,
Until, piece by piece, they find themselves
Back together with Love
